Abstract
A method for a modified binary search includes steps of: selecting a parameter having a distribution of values, selecting a probability density function representative of the distribution of values of the selected parameter, defining a substantially equal probability weighted binary test interval from the probability density function for each of a selected number of test intervals over a selected test range, translating the weighted binary test intervals to obtain a highest resolution at a target point of the selected parameter, and skewing the translated and weighted binary test intervals by a selected scaling function to generate a modified binary test interval for each of the selected number of test intervals over the selected test range.
